Prioritization and Implementation of Proposed Recommendations for the Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update July 21, 2026 P a g e | 9 Master Plan, where it was identified as the highest-priority corridor. This change reflects updates to the prioritization methodology, including greater emphasis on connections to major bicycle and pedestrian destinations, traffic stress levels, and equity considerations. In addition, recently completed improvements between 550 feet west of Payne Road and Hacienda Drive —including intersection enhancements and a quick- build Class IV separated bikeway—have reduced traffic stress and improved walking and bicycling conditions along this portion of the corridor. Despite its lower overall ranking, West Las Positas Boulevard remains a critical east - west connection on the north side of the city, providing an I -680 crossing and linking neighborhoods with schools and other key destinations. It is located on the bicycle- focused high injury corridor, and the unimproved segments between Foothill Road and 550 feet west of Payne Road and between Hacienda Drive and Cranwood Court tied at ranking #6 among the bicycle segment improvements, indicating a continued need for additional investment. While community support for converting the existing quick -build separated bikeway to a permanent facility was low compared to corridors without existing low-stress facilities, the corridor overall received strong community support , underscoring its continued importance as a multimodal corridor. Additional Corridor Considerations (#10 to #17) The remaining corridors ranked lower overall but continue to represent important connections within the City’s bicycle and pedestrian network. Several of these corridors provide key citywide or regional connections, including access across I-680, connections to BART, and links to surrounding communities. However, these corridors ranked relatively lower either because they don’t meet or partially meet the evaluation criteria, have very high implementation costs, or lower community support. • Foothill Road, Stoneridge Drive, Hopyard Road – These corridors are important north-south and east-west corridors that serve both local and regional travel beyond Pleasanton. These corridors received moderate to high community support but ranked lower overall because they are lengthy corridors and several study segment s or intersections received lower technical scores, reducing the overall corridor score. Implementing low-stress bicycle and pedestrian facilities along the full length of these corridors would require substantial capital investment, phased implementation, and competitive grant funding due to their scale and complexity. • BART Access Corridors (Willow Road, Iron Horse Trail Extension, Stoneridge Mall Road, Owens Drive) - These corridors provide important first-/last-mile connections to BART and the regional transit network. Although they ranked lower due to lower technical scores, lower community support, or higher implementation costs, public outreach highlighted improved transit access as an important community priority. • Dorman Road - Dorman Road represents a lower-cost neighborhood improvement opportunity focused on school access. Implementation Based on the corridor evaluation, corridors were further categorized as Priority Corridors, Major Capital Corridors, or Opportunity Corridors (see Appendix B). These categories are intended to guide implementation by considering both the corridor ranking and additional factors such as project scale, implementation complexity, funding needs, and ongoing City efforts.
